Chapter 3 - A Prank of Catastrophic Proportions
I was reading peacefully in my favorite armchair by the fire, when the first screams came from the dorms. Draco looked up from the chair beside me, confused and alarmed. I motioned for him to be quiet and sat back to watch the fun. The few other Slytherins around us were just as confused as Draco.
From the girls dorms came terrified screams as bangs and pops echoed down the corridor.
There go the motion sensitive target lock fireworks...
From the boys dorm came yells of alarm and pain.
And the spell controlled stinging insects...
As everyone came dashing down the stairs, they sank through the floor up to their necks. Those behind the front runners tripped over their housemates’ heads and went flying face first into the spells and, a shallow, undetectable, spell controlled quicksand pit.
By the time professor Snape got to the scene, everyone except those of us not caught in the trap were panicking, and the rest of us were laughing our asses off.
I discretely said the counter-spell for the stinging insects, so Professor Snape wouldn’t get stung, and they fell dead to the floor. The fireworks had long ago died out, leaving quite a few students mildly scorched.
Snape was absolutely furious! He had to levitate the students out of the pit one by one while trying to calm them down. When the last one was out, I quietly released the spell on the sand, and it vanished without a trace. Snape tested the ground cautiously, then, satisfied that the danger was past, began to herd the injured students to Madame Pomfrey.
Those of us left in the commons were roaring with laughter. Little did we know just how furious Snape was. When he returned to the commons, Draco and I were talking peacefully, and the others were still excited about the incident.
“Detention for you all unless someone can tell me who did this!”
We all got serious and quiet, looking from one to another. Snape waited, livid, and then quietly growled.
“Fine then, detention for all of you for the rest of the year, and 300 points from Slytherin.”
He turned and stormed out, leaving behind some very argumentative students. People began flinging accusations at each other, and small fights began to break out. Draco and I decided to hightail it out of there before Snape returned with more punishments.
We ended up splitting, him to the quidditch pitch and me to the library. Before he left, I had him erase my memory of the pranks, so I wouldn’t get caught at my next Occlumency and Ligilimency lesson.
That night at the lessons, I tripled my efforts to try and make up for all the trouble I had caused Snape. After all, as stiff as he was, he was also my favorite professor.
Besides, we’re really so much alike, it’s scary.
After we were finished for the night, he gave me a scrutinizing look and said
“Are you certain you know nothing of those pranks from earlier this evening?”
I shook my head.
“Sorry professor, I don’t.”
He looked at me for a long moment, and then accepted my answer with a curt nod.
“Very well then. Be on your way now Miss Youngblood, you are excused from your detentions.”
I nodded and turned to seek out Draco.
“Miss Youngblood, those fangs suit you.”
I froze for a moment and turned to look over my shoulder, stunned, not believing what I’d heard. Snape was already gone to his private store room, so I shook myself out of it and left. Draco and I met up in the common room, and he told me that he had also been excused from detention. We both decided it might be in our best interest if I saved the remainder of my pranks for after the holidays.
